Springs

Suspension Feel Factor

You must have heard of terms -

Soft Suspension

Hard Suspension

as stated by Owners, Car Reviewers. For Layman and easy understanding - By calling a Suspension - Soft or Stiff means height adjustment of Coil Springs which impact overall ride and handling on City and Highway Conditions.

The compression rate of springs by which it will go up and down define ride quality. Here are details :-

» Soft Suspension - Calling Suspension to be Soft Suspension means that the car has Taller Springs and thus is tuned for Comfort Oriented ride on slow speed,

In Good City Roads - you will find the ride Plush, and when driven on marginal bad roads at slow speed - the overall ride turns to be soft. Although Smaller Bumps are absorbed easily on slow speed, but sharp bumps or bad roads can be felt in cabin in case of soft Suspension.

» Stiff Suspension - Calling Suspension to be Stiff means that the car got Short Springs and designed to Perform Superior on high speed with better grip and handling on highway. Been the Suspension is stiff the overall weight dynamics are better balanced out and cornering ability of the car is also better controlled. Enthusiast Cars, SUV Cars generally get Stiff Suspension for better high speed and Cornering Dynamics

If you are in looking for off road, faster performance car, relative better cornering abilities – you may admire on Stiff Suspension. Luxury Manufacturers, SUV Cars, Performance Cars all comes with relative Stiffer Suspension

Downside of Soft Suspension and Stiff Suspension

Some downside of Soft Suspension is this will cause relative

Higher body roll especially on Cars which are Taller Impact Car Dynamics. Drive S Presso on high Speed and you will realize on what we are saying

Cornering ability on Higher Speed not the best

Also if the Car is Fully Loaded - despite higher ground clearance - this will come down and may find under-body scraping on bad roads, speed breaker

Downside is Car with Stiff Suspension will let

Ride Feels slight Firm on City Roads. Not as Plush or Soft as otherwise in Hatchback, Sedan Cars having Soft Suspension

Bad roads, Potholes percolate in Cabin on slow Speed

In case of Softer Springs, Dampers - Inertia movement let the tyres to loose contact with road surface in case of road bumps or tend to have higher body roll on taking steep turns and thus causing the vehicle to understeer.

This, even for Cars with Soft Suspension to maintain equilibrium - Its best for OEM to give suspension a fair amount of rigidness yet keeping them soft enough as combination to give best in ride quality and handling characterstic to the car.
